Request to suppress collaborator invitation emails.
When needing to invite a single user into multiple files and subfolders within a given folder, but not into all files in that specific folder, we'd like to see a way to suppress the email notifications that are automatically sent to that user each time the collaborator invitation is sent.
Currently there is no way to choose to not have the email notifications go out and then it inundates the user's inbox.

As an admin, I should be able to designate a folders zone (not restricted by the user).
In a closed environment where you have a single user designated as the owner, you are currently unable to utilize multiline tenancy. In an instance where UK HR Files need to have a zone of UK and US HR Files need to be in the US zone, I would need to create a separate service account to own each set of files.
Ideally you would be able to designate anything containing PII/PIA/IP to a root folder with a designated zone based on data storage compliance. Allowing multiple users to access without worrying about the need for unnecessary service accounts…

Collect user info when a box link is shared with non-box users
The goal is to require non-box users enter their first, last name and email before accessing a Box shared link set to permission "People with the link".
I.E, user will click on the link, re-direct to a sign up page requiring first, last name and email. After submitted they are routed to the training videos hosted on Box.

Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy
Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

Co-admin permissions : report role has too many rights
If a user has only the report co-admin role ("Run new reports and access existing reports") to let him create reports for him, he can see other things in the admin console :
- Insights
- Content
- Reports (OK)
- Platform (with the Create Sandbox button !)Is it possible to secure this, so he can only see the Reports part ?

Increase number of concurrent Box Notes editors
Box Notes currently allows only 20 concurrent editors. For a conference or other large gathering it may be useful to have 100+. Please consider increasing the limit, or replacing the hard limit with an in-UI warning (e.g., "You have more than 30 people editing and performance may be reduced").
In the meantime, also please clearly document the maximum concurrent user limit and behavior in the KB.
37 votesWe are now supporting 30 concurrent editors. We will aim to increase this limit in the future.

When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash.
When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash. Here is the behavior we noticed: a. We enable "Restrict content creation" in Enterprise Settings. b. User who is not the owner of the folder deletes files. -> The files will be shown in Trash. c. The same user deletes the folder which the files above existed in. d. The files which were deleted in process "a" are no longer shown in trash, making users unable to restore them, unless they restore the folder itself. e. However, the…

Enhancement to the UI when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want to improve the behavior when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want you to display up to the latest ○ items instead of displaying the contents at all.
If it is difficult to realize this request, please display the screen of the reason why it is not displayed and the workaround screen instead of the error screen of "The specified page does not exist" to reduce the business impact.If it disappears suddenly, you will not be able to restore or confirm…

Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task
When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.
The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.
Our use case is this:
Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
Finance Director and CFO approve the task.…10 votes -
File Upload Notification - Ability to set alerts to a specific managed user per folder
File Upload can be a game changer for our company - with 1 major exception. Notifications in box seem to be all or nothing. Its overwhelming. Most of our team have them all turned off.
We would like the ability to set a notification for file uploads - per folder - per user/s. Example: Folder named: Dr. Joe with 10 folders within it. One of the sub-folders is named "Uploads from Dr. Joe" A file request link is created and shared with the client for this sub-folder. Then, regardless of who owns the file, you can add certain managed …

Ability to scope Malicious Content Rules by User/Group/Shield Lists
Currently malicious content rules apply to all users. To test moving from an audit/detection-only stance to enforcement, it would be useful to be able to create multiple rules that are scoped to specific users/groups/Shield Lists.
This will allow us to keep most users in an audit/detection-only rule, while we test enforcement with a pilot group in another rule.3 votes -
Request to add an Address book feature when adding or @mentioning users.
Currently, there are only 5 suggestions displayed when adding, @mentioning users.
There are more than 5 users with the same name and it is hard to filter out the exact user.
We would like an address book feature so we can filter out the users to invite. Address book should include user name, Organization name, groups, etc.

We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Add option to cancel workflow
Currently there is only delete option to stop the workflow.
Workflows are stalled or stacked as in progress sometimes. We want to assign similar task manually or re-assign the same task to complete the workflow in time.
But it will cause duplicated tasks assigned unexpectedly or file operation (move or copy etc.) is executed twice. This is very confusing.
So we want to cancel the existing workflow before manual workaround.12 votes -
Create a Task to provide a notification
Create a Task to provide a notification to a user. For example if a document has been moved, this Task would create a notification to Bob that the file has been moved. He shouldn't have to do anything with this or approve or complete it, just be notified.
25 votesThank you for the feedback. We do not currently have plans to add a “no action required” task type to our Tasks feature. That said, please continue to add use cases here, as we may consider in a future planning cycle.

Request for improvement of mail upload function
I found a problem with the current mail upload function, so I would like Box to improve it.
[Request (1): Adding Management Console and Folder Settings]
Users with Editor permission can change the settings of the folder's mail upload function.
However, I would like to add the ability to restrict this permission to owners and co-owners to the administrative console and the settings for each folder.[Request (2) Timing for saving the settings of the mail upload function]
If you click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" about the mail upload function of the folder, the URL for…22 votes -
Allow administrative "As-User' calls to bypass steps that require user intervention, such as accepting Custom Terms of Service.
As-User calls made by an admin, on behalf of the user, should not require any end user interaction to work. This supports API driven administration prior to making Box available to end users, which is common when deploying at scale or performing data migrations.
In particular, non-acceptance of Custom Terms of Service and Uncompleted Email Verification currently cause such calls to fail until the end user takes action to complete them.
makes the migration process overly complex.7 votesGreat feedback. Currently, there is no Email Verification required today for app users, and we do have a Terms of Service API: developer.box.com/reference#terms-of-service-object

Make files preview in mobile without user registration like Dropbox
Make files preview on mobile Box, without user registration. Currently, customers need to download the box app just to view any file I send as shared link. This is not an issue with Dropbox. With the majority of people using their mobile phones this would be a good idea, do you agree?
